My Absolute Number One Pottery Tip Oxford Clay

- Crafts
After years of practising pottery, I’ve distilled the absolute one thing every Potter needs to know: be kind to yourself!
Although being kind to yourself doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with making pottery! Self-kindness is actually something that superpowers your pottery learning journey and helps you cultivate a growth mindset.
Being kind to yourself is an absolute must for learning any new thing that requires a lot of patience and making ‘mistakes’ along the way - like pottery!
